The man's smirk widened as he leaned back, his posture relaxed yet mischievous. "Sometimes I wonder how someone like you even started reading this novel," he teased.
The woman's eyes narrowed at his remark, her lips pursed in annoyance. With a sharp exhale, she shook her head. "Enough of that," she snapped, her voice cutting through the tension.
Turning her attention to the men in black, she took a step forward, her movements purposeful. "I'll be teleporting each of you to different parts of the mansion," she announced. "I'm sure you all already memorized the blueprints we gave you, so you know the location of the artifact." Her gaze swept over them, ensuring their attention. "Once you have retrieved it, notify me, and I'll teleport you out. As for those in charge of administering the pill," she continued, her tone firm, "I won't be teleporting you back until you have completed your mission."
